U - "Reported glyphs thought to represent U include:
a capital Y-like shape; a folded ships sail; a circle and staff shape [oar];
an upside-down h-like shape; a verticle line with a little curve at top;
a verticle line with a tiny circle at top; a U shape; a V shape; a downward
spiral shape; a [baby?] chicken; a wilted flower [lotus]; an arched or bent
over string with a loop tied at the bottom. Trivia: U was carved by the Romans
as V, and is still represented this way on modern buildings. U and V were
interchangable until the 1500's, first being differentiated on the continent,
and then later in England in the 1600's, though V was sometimes used until
as late as the 1700's. Associated spellings/words: V, W, 0, F."

V - "The sixth letter [Vav] in the Hebrew alphabet.
The common symbolic meaning for Vav is a hook. When prefixed to a word, V
generally means 'and'. Other meanings attributed to V include: however, if,
yet, then, that, but only, when, particularly, with, different, namely, again.
V is used as a common prefix of conjunction in the Hebrew language that links
words and phrases to form sentences; joins sentences into paragraphs and
chapters; connects one chapter to another; and even unites books. When V
is prefixed to a verb in scripture, it changes the tense from past to future,
orvice versa. Some examples include: ydbr [he will speak] / vydbr [he spoke];
hyh [was] / vhyh [will be]; yhy [will be] / vyhy [was]. When V [with a dot]
is suffixed to a word, it means 'of them,' and 'they'. Among Jewish scholars
the letter V is also believed to suggest: completeness and timelessness.
Associated spellings/words: u; b."

V - "The Hungarian runic symbol for V looks like a
V wedge from an axe cut. Interestingly many archaic M sounds have become
V sounds in Hungarian. The letter M looks like this symbol."

V - "V is closely related to U. The two uppercase forms
were used interchangably until the 1700's."

F - "Glyphs believed to signify F include: a verticle
staff with two short projections [the Runic symbol]. Meanings attributed
to F include: an oar. Trivia: The letter F is related to both P and U. By
some scholars, F is believed to represent the evolved form of Vav [Y], or
U. History: Before it was dropped, F was the original sixth letter in the
Greek alphabet. Reportedly, F originated from the Pheonician Vav which was
adapted by the Greeks and then dropped from the alphabet in the 7th century
B.C. The Etruscans borrowed their F from the Greeks and altered it into a
symbol similar to our 8. The 8 appears in the early Latin as the digraph
F8 and was later simplified F."

W - "W is a latecomer to the alphabet, first descended
from the Semitic letter Vau, which was also the origin of the letters F,
U, V and Y. The W form did not appear at all in antiquity. Instead the Greeks
used F or digamma for their W sound. This was later changed into the consonantal
U, then into the V. W didn't come into full use until 700 A.D. after the
Anglo-Saxon invasion, when the runic alphabet became the alphabet of
Britain."

O - "Glyphs thought to represent O include: a circle, a circle with a dot
in the center, an eye, with or without pupil [oyin, ayin]; a U shape; a V
shape. Trivia: Reportedly, O descended from the Semitic ayin which meant
the word eye in Phoenician and used it as the vowel omnicron in their early
alphabet. The Ionian alphabet replaced the O for omega, placing it at the
end of their alphabet."

O - "The Hungarian runic symbol reportedly shows the
sideview of a nose, called OR. Or can also mean a peak, point."

Vahu - "Iranian name for the Vedic Vayu [the 'wind
god' or 'breath of life'] later associated
with Zurvan."

Vav - "Sixth letter in the Hebrew alphabet. The modern
form of Vav shows a verticle staff with a
leftward-facing small appendage at top, which resembles the old Phoenician
letter 'U' [a verticle staff with a u-like
shape attached at top left, or an upside-down leftward- facing small h-like shape]. Meanings attributed to
V include: hook, nail; doorknob; hearing;
liberty; the 6th letter [2nd Elemental] in the Hebrew alphabet; the 5th
['God divided between the light and darkness']
of 32 reported paths, or states of consciousness
(Hebrew). Associated spellings/words: Vau, Waw."

sun. The father of the peace-goddess Whope.
According to Lakota legend, Skan [sky] created Wi [light]." (Native

Vishnu - "The traditional Sanskrit explanation of the name Visnu involves
the root vis', meaning 'to settle, to enter', or also (in the Rigveda)
'to pervade', and a suffix nu, translating to approximately 'the

wyrd - "[....] In Mythology, twins often represent
the cosmic forces of light and dark, life and
death, good and evil. The glyph for Gemini, two parallel columns, one light
and the other dark, refers to the 'Gates of
Hercules' which open into the world of opposites. This pairing of light and
dark forces not only reflects our earthbound experience of the cycles of
day and night, summer and winter, the waxing and waning of the moon, but also touches upon a profound human predicament,
the problem of the shadow, the inner opposite,
the adversary who is also sister (or brother), born of the same womb, a mirror reflection. [NP] Psychologically, our
shadows are comprised of the parts of ourselves
that we learned - usually at an early age - to ignore, deny, and split off as 'not me.' [....] The ancient Celts
conceptualized this diabolical quality of the shadow in their idea that every
king had a wyrd, a shadow twin who would
someday overthrow him. [....]" [Based on: Parabola article (Gemini and the

Witchcraft - "Witchcraft has always been a religion
of poetry, not theology. The myths, legends,
and teachings are recognized as metaphors for 'That-Which-Cannot-Be- Told,' the absolute reality our limited minds can
never completely know. The mysteries of the
absolute can never be explained - only felt or intuited. Symbols and ritual acts are used to trigger altered
states of awareness in which insights that
go beyond words are revealed. When we speak of the 'secrets that cannot be told,' we do not mean merely that rules
prevent us from speaking freely. We mean that
the inner knowledge literally cannot be expressed in words. It can only be conveyed by experience, and no one
can legislate what insight another person
may draw from any given experience." (Based on: Starhawk, The Spiral Dance, p. 32)
